Kander41 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Just finished a TGC 2.5" leveling kit and definitely loving the new look. Quality of the kit is top notch. Starting with just the lower spacer and it wasn't high enough. My truck's rake was right at about 3" from the factory. Before After Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
quise2024 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Could anyone with a 1.5 - 2" leveling kit measure the height of your truck from ground to roof (1500 models)? I am just trying to get an idea of how much room I'll have entering and exiting my garage. I believe when I first measure the garage I had about 86" to enter the frame and inside of course was much more. I initially thought I could just measure my own truck and then add 2" but I just have a feeling it doesn't work like that and the last thing I want to do is level it and it doesn't fit, having to park it outside for potential hail and snow for sure in these long 6 months of winter we have here Thanks in advance
Robert.jean1 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Mine has a 2.5" level and I'm sitting at 76" or just about as when I measure it is taller than I am. But you will not have an issue getting in your garage

Been reading this post for the last few days, and if I decide to pull the trigger on a 15 Sierra it's getting the leveling kit and tire package before it even makes it to 100 miles on the odometer. In the long run, I don't want something that won't fit in most parking garages in the city, or a personal garage when we finally decide to move. At this point, it looks like kits are readily available for trucks with and without the All Terrain package, correct?
AlexThe3rd Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Ok just got all done with the leveling kit. First picture is of the day I picked it up. image.jpg Second and third picture is of it with just the front RC spacers installed. image.jpg Next to my dads 2015 high country image.jpg Measurements were: 39 front wheel well 38 rear wheel well 18 front of cab 17.25 back of cab Here it is with the 2 in blocks in the back image.jpg 39 front wheel well 38.75 rear wheel well 18 front cab 18 rear cab Nice ride!! We have the same truck..did you take measurements before the kit? If so, are they posted somewhere? I am looking to level my truck and am curious as to what yours measured. Idk if I should get the RC 2.5" kit or the Ready Lift 2.25" kit for just the front. Also, did you replace or plastidip your bowtie black?
depogrog Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Is there a definitive answer for what size tires I can run with a 2.5 level on the factory 18" wheels. I've been searching for a couple days and can't find a straight answer. Edited June 5, 2015 by depogrog

nadrojcote Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) 285/65r18 for sure, probably can get away with 285/70r18 Edited June 6, 2015 by projectsummit
depogrog Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) No to a 295/65r18.? Goodyear makes the duratrac in that size Neverminds, there are ko2s in the 285/65. I'll just go with those, reviews are good Edited June 6, 2015 by depogrog
Rafael Jr Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Level my truck today. Really excited love the results
SierraBrad Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Looking for some side pics of your 4WD Sierra 'levelled' with an 1.5" or 2" in the front. Trying to decide between 1.5" and 2". I am running 20" wheels with stock tires, Crew cab. Thanks everybody!

Also, did you replace or plastidip your bowtie black? I did measure before, forget the exact measurements but it was around 36 in front and 38 in rear. I went with the rough country because I knew It would come with the rear block if needed. I plasti dipped the bowties. the bowties were real easy. I also later did the wheel inserts and bowties. They were alittle harder but not so bad after I figured it out. On the wheels I couldn't let it dry, had to spray real thick coat and pull tape immediately while still wet. 1
